Dukes of Hazzard actress Catherine Bach has a lot to smile about these days and has shared a series of stunning pictures of herself with friends, months after a reported health scare.
The 72-year-old was glowing in the pictures, rocking a bold orange silk shirt and skinny jeans paired with pointed leather boots. Her brunette hair was swept to one side in the selfie, revealing youthful skin highlighted by a rosy blush and lip gloss.

Catherine portrayed Daisy Duke on the famous 1970s show, which followed cousins Bo and Luke in Hazzard County, Georgia, while on probation for running moonshine. Daisy was their cousin, and she inspired the creation of the Daisy Dukes, a name for the tight-fitting denim mini-shorts for women.

"Attention Dukes of Hazzard family!!" John Schneider, who played Bo Duke in the series, told fans on Facebook.
"I just texted Catherine, and thankfully, she responded right away. Yes, she is in the hospital, but she assures me that she is going to be fine. She appreciates all our prayers and support and is truly disappointed not to be traveling this weekend. We love you, Catherine!!"

Catherine was set to appear at Cooter's Place, a Dukes of Hazzard-themed museum and gift shop in Nashville owned by Ben Jones, who played mechanic Cooter Davenport, and he revealed that she would have to cancel her appearance.
